Root and ROM process question

Judging by what ive been reading from recent posts in the noob challenge guide..the guide needs to be updated. I dont understand why people cant get this right with multiple different errors still that are caused by reasons aside from typos when they are typing in the command prompt part of the steps.

I havent started to root my droid and i have been persuaded by all the people who talk about it to do so. Sounds great. I really want to go through the guide but im afraid im going to find a new problem or run into the ones that people havent solved yet. Id like an updated guide before i give this a shot or just a solid way for this to work when i follow the guide word for word without worrying about outdated steps because of updated software that i need that will conflict with the guide. Can anyone help or give advice?

Post any problems in the other thread so I can try to answer all questions in one place. If you are already rooted you can skip some steps (it tells you what to skip to in the guide). My only advice to is to read everything and take your time. Good luck.
